Marjorie Aileen Adams Fryrear was born May 14, 1910, in Estes Park to Fred and Ollie [Murrain] Adams. She died Tuesday, March 28, 2000, at the Heritage Living Center in Haxtun, at the age of 89.
Marjorie was the second of four children. Her father was a carpenter on the famous Stanley Hotel in Estes Park at the time of her birth. Upon the completion of the hotel, the family moved to Conifer where Marjorie and her older sister Lillian welcomed a brother, Jim. The family moved by covered wagon to the Yuma area where they lived with relatives until their home became available. Her brother Lloyd was born in the new family home.
The Adams children attended Waverly School. Marjorie met Willie Fryrear at a Sunday School party at Wages Methodist Church. They continued to see each other at area barn dances, and when Marjorie was a senior in high school, she ended her schooling to become Mrs. Willie Fryrear. They were united in marriage February 12, 1930, at the home of Marjorie's parents in Yuma County. To this union were born four children, Gloria Jean, Donna May, Joyce Aileen and Donald William.
The first few years of marriage - during the Great Depression and dust bowl times - were very difficult for Marjorie and her husband, so Willie took a job. He helped to build the road from Holyoke to Wray, and Marjorie was left in charge of the farm and family during the week.
Marjorie and Willie helped all their children to excel in school and in their 4-H projects. They guided their children through many county, state and national steer shows as well as sporting events and other school activities. As grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Fryrear continued to attend school and sporting activities.
The Fryrears moved to Holyoke in 1990. Marjorie was a devoted wife and mother. She and her husband celebrated their 70th anniversary earlier this year.
She was preceded in death by her parents; sister Lillian; brothers *Jim and Lloyd; son-in-law Charles Toyne; brothers-in-law Melvin, Merle and Charles Fryrear and Byron Mitchell; and sister-in-law Mary Fryrear.
Survivors include her husband Willie of Holyoke; three daughters, Gloria Toyne of Sedgwick, Donna Oliver and husband William of Holyoke, and Joyce Zwirn and husband Don of Otis; son Donald [Billie] Fryrear and wife Sherry of Big Springs, Texas; seven grandchildren, Lynda Firme and husband Randall of Haxtun, Randal Oliver and wife Becky of Holyoke, Kathy Bornhoft and husband Tim of Kapolei, Hawaii, Russell Zwirn and wife Debbie of Yuma, Richard Zwirn and wife Angie of Yuma, Debbie Farr and husband Richard of San Angelo, Texas, and Kenneth Fryrear and wife Cindy of Midland, Texas; 13 great-grandchildren, William Ryan and Gentry Leigh Oliver, Jeffery Dean and Carly Jo Firme, Drew Foster and Tate Matthew Bornhoft, Levi Keller, Brody Matthew and Tylyn Elizabeth Zwirn, Andrea Denice and Bradley William Fryrear, and Jake Ryan and Jilian Leigh Farr; three sisters-in-law, Betty Adams of Akron, Cleo Fryrear of Haxtun and Joe Fryrear of Holyoke.
Funeral services for Marjorie Aileen Adams Fryrear were held Friday, March 31, 2000, at the First United Methodist Church in Holyoke. Interment followed at Holyoke Memorial Park. Rev. Darrell Dennis officiated.
*Marjorie's brother, Jim, was James Edward Adams who was killed on Okinawa, Japan September 23, 1945 during World War II while serving in the Navy.
